Hi Torsten, I just set this repeating occurrence to CANCELLED (which is a DONE state for me) and the event is rescheduled for the next cycle. I log state changes so I get a record of this. Another option is to clone the task (C-c C-x c) for each occurrence. I do that for some meetings where I want to take notes in individual meetings - and a single meeting can then be rescheduled to a new time/location without affecting the main repeating task.) You can then cancel the appropriate cloned task occurrence. Regards, Bernt
